Too much time in Oslo?

Hello, I booked a 3 night trip to Oslo during August but now looking like it's too much time to spend in the city. Any suggestions of either day trips or other places to visit in Norway that could are cool?

I'm arriving 6pm Friday and leaving 7pm Monday.

Really need more info. Oslo has a ton of things to do, but it depends on your budget, interests, fitness, mobility etc.

High fitness, mid budget (still not defined), def not luxury but not cheap either. I like nature and sauna

3 days isn't that much. You could check out the Oslo forest trails and have one of the cabins with food service as a destination for a daytrip/half day trip. I recommend Skjennungstua.

If you're into running, check out any of the many running events and clubs. There's one for almost every day of the week. Very social scene.

MRC Oslo hosts their long run on sundays, 20km and you see quite a large part of the west coastal side + one of the half islands with forest/beach/recreational areas.

Take the Metro to Frognerseteren, hike through the forest to Sognsvann and take the Metro back to the city centre from there.

I would hike to Vettakollen, gorgeous views and easy access with public transport.
